In this research paper, some south Indian Bellary breed sheep and Hassan breed sheep wool are considered. Bellary breeds sheep and Hassan breed sheep wool is courser in nature. The Indian Bellary breed sheep and Hassan breed sheep woolen fibers are used, to produce hand spun yarns. The Bellary breed wool is blended with polyester fibers, to make blended yarn.
